Expedited Removal: Criminal Gang Members, Terrorists, and Convicted Aliens

New legislation aims to speed up the removal process for non-citizens in the U.S. who are gang members, support terrorist organizations, or have been convicted of specific crimes. This means these individuals will be detained and removed from the country more quickly, without the possibility of seeking protection from removal. These changes could impact public safety by accelerating the removal of individuals deemed a threat.
Key points
Expedited Removal: Non-citizens who are criminal gang members, members of terrorist organizations, or convicted of specified crimes will face faster removal.
Mandatory Detention: Individuals covered by these new rules will be subject to mandatory detention prior to removal.
Ineligibility for Withholding: These non-citizens will not be eligible for withholding of removal.
Defined Crimes: Covered crimes include assault of a law enforcement officer, sexual offenses, domestic violence, stalking, crimes against children, and violation of protection orders.
Vulnerable Group Protection: Expedited removal also applies to misdemeanors committed against vulnerable groups (children under 16, pregnant women, individuals with severe disabilities, individuals over 65).
